2nd April- Mexico city, Mexico
Warehouses
Dom’s POV
“Right pair off and search the warehouses. Remember these guys are professionals, they shoot to kill. Don’t take any unnecessary risks, so radio in for back up.” Hobbs warned before we split up, going separate ways to search.
“I don’t think Hobbs was completely honest when he offered us this job.” I whispered quietly to Brian.
“Yeah I think Lotty had something to do with this.” He whispered back in agreement.
“Are you saying I’ve double crossed you?” I whirled around towards Lotty.
“Shit I didn’t even know you were with us.” I hissed as I calmed my racing heart.
“We don’t have even numbers.” She shrugged.
“No what I mean is Hobbs offered us immunity because of you. Had it just been us he never would have come to us, he would have continued hunting us down until the day he died.” Brian clarified as we continued our search.
I looked back at Lotty expecting a reaction but she said nothing, her mind focusing on the task at hand. I glanced at Brian the same time he glanced at me and we shared a knowing look but we said nothing, letting the moment slide.
We searched our designated area in silence but as we grew closer to the end I was beginning to think we were searching in the wrong area.
“Dom.” Brian hissed quietly as his gun swung around to the left. Lotty was already making her way towards the packed pallets silently and carefully. I trained my gun in the same direction but stayed where I was for cover. From this angle I could cover Lotty and Brian if I needed to.
“Ahh.” Lotty cried out as the boxes came tumbling down on top of her. I let off a shot, firing at the blur of movement as it streaked past the wall of boxes. The place was so damn dark we couldn’t see a thing.
“You okay?” I shouted at Lotty.
“Fine just get him.” She snapped as I took off after Brian.
I placed the radio near my mouth as and pressed the button on the side while I ran. We were going to need back up or we were going to lose him.
“Hobbs, we’re chasing one. Need some help.” I spoke before continuing on after brian. I could hear running behind me and I turned my head briefly to look thinking it was Lotty but all I saw was a man’s face. Whipping around I aimed and fired but I missed. The unknown male laughed a real throaty laugh before I heard the sound of a gunshot. I cried out in pain as I felt the bullet pierce my skin in my right arm.
Aiming blindly I let out another four shots, my gunshots mixing with his as he opened fire as well. I was only slightly satisfied as I saw a body crumple to the ground with a loud cry of pain but it was short lived when another bullet hit me, this time in the stomach.
I groaned as I fell to the floor, no longer able to stand due to the pain. I dropped my gun, holding both hands to the wound at my stomach. I heard the radio come to life, Hobbs worried voice demanding answers but it was out of my reach. I felt myself growing weaker as I slumped to the ground, no longer able to keep myself upright. I could hear movement but it all seemed so far away.
I was panting and gasping for breath and it was only now that I was starting to panic.
‘Letty. Ava.’
Using all the energy I had left I started to crawl in the direction of the voices. I had to get back to Letty and Ava. I had to see my baby being born. I wasn’t going to die like this.
I didn’t get very far before the world around me gave a lurch, spinning around me as I once again crumpled to the floor. My eyes were too heavy to keep open and no matter how hard I fought it I found them shutting on their own.
My last thoughts were of them before the darkness around me pulled me in completely.
